Travel eSIM

A travel eSIM gives you mobile data abroad from $4.99 without roaming charges or hunting for a SIM shop at the airport. Here is how to set it up before you fly.

What it is

A digital SIM installed on your phone. You keep your main number active for calls and use the eSIM for data.

Install before flying

Buy and install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then activate the data line when you land. Most providers send a QR code by email.

When it beats airport SIMs

Short trips and multi-country travel: one eSIM can cover a region. Airport SIMs are pricier and require queueing.

Check your phone

Most phones from 2019+ support eSIM. Check settings → mobile network → add eSIM before buying.
